[00:26.169] I'm making plans for the day all of this is through
[00:30.679] Seeing my path and hearing the song I'll sing
[00:34.686] And food that I'll taste and all the drinks that I'll consume
[00:39.694] Return the smile on an unmasked friend
[00:42.950] As we take streets I don't walk down 'cause I want to avoid
[00:48.209] Fighting temptation, walk at a downtown pace
[00:51.967] And treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed
[00:56.977] Sometimes I wonder how long 'til I'm a face in one?
[01:18.517] You'd be surprised to learn what you could bear to lose
[01:23.026] Wanting and needing, not getting either one
[01:26.783] And planning the future as if time is yours to choose
[01:32.043] Pick out a movie, a sandwich from a screen
[01:35.800] Yeah, how many days in life will I spend underground?
[01:40.559] Hours in total, as many as it takes
[01:44.565] And how many ways of feeling lousy have I found?
[01:49.577] Lately uncounted
[01:51.581] I've found a reason to exist
[01:56.591] Written on the tile
[02:01.100] Of the platform wall
[02:05.361] Begging not to go extinct
[02:09.618] To all those who saw
[02:28.409] How many times now have I walked into that room
[02:32.918] With the day shining through purple film?
[02:36.424] Combining sound from the corners that you use yourself to tune
[02:41.686] Like a piano, well-tuned and walking slowly
[02:45.944] Socks on the carpet while some kid watches my shoes
[02:50.203] Feeling the sine like a bolt of lightning
[02:53.961] House of dreams, you were once my cure for New York City blues
[02:58.972] Is this goodbye then?
[03:01.478] Will you be on the other side?
[03:06.487] Waiting there for me?
[03:10.747] Nothing left to want
[03:15.005] Cashing in my claim to a life lived mostly free
[04:18.626] On the other side
[04:22.886] Waiting there for me
[04:27.398] Nothing left to want
[04:31.653] Cashing in my claim to a life lived mostly free
